Big Firm Pro Bono: Helping Clients, Increasing Nonprofit Capacity, and Enriching Law Firm Practice

Pro bono service is an important way to connect poor people and underresourced nonprofits to needed legal services, but can it also help the law firm lawyers who represent pro bono clients? In a very competitive legal market and in the face of demanding billable hours requirements, what motivates lawyers at major law firms to contribute over 1.5 million hours of pro bono time per year? How can the skills students gain through pro bono projects make them more marketable to potential law firm employers? What do future public interest lawyers need to know about law firm pro bono programs in order to effectively increase nonprofit capacity and connect their client communities to pro bono lawyers?

Please join the Texas Law Pro Bono Program at a lunch presentation during national Celebrate Pro Bono Week that will address these questions and more. A panel of attorneys from Vinson & Elkins will discuss V&E’s national pro bono program and how pro bono service contributes to law firms’ business development, professional development, and recruiting efforts.

A Mediterranean luncheon will be served. Please RSVP to Sarah Sedgwick at ssedgwick@law.utexas.edu no later than noon on Monday, October 20.
